Onus (2020) - full transcript

What happens if they don't
like me?

They will.

Yeah but what if they don't?

Anna.

I've never done this before.

I know, but you hardly
get nervous like this

meeting anyone else.

People I meet don't own a
manor house.

And that makes them different
how?

Oh God, Anna.

Anna, maybe they're vampires.



I mean Dracula had a castle,
didn't he?

I didn't mean they were
vampires.

I promise you darling,

you have nothing to worry about,
okay?

I mean, they're just people.

So what if they have money?

It's a massive one.

I'm not exactly rolling in it,
am I?

My entire mantra is
just totally different.

I just wanna help people, okay?

I feel like I'm betraying
myself just sitting here.

Well, maybe just keep
the politics to yourself

and you'll be fine, yeah?

I guess.



Just don't know how I'm supposed
to feel.

This is all new to me.

Well, why don't you
try feeling supportive?

Remember why you're coming
with me in the first place.

I know, I know.

Anna, as I said,
everything's gonna be fine.

You'll have a great time,
you can meet everyone.

It'll be great.

You've got nothing to worry
about, okay?

We'll just rub a bit of garlic
on you

before we get there, you know,

just in case they do try
and suck all your blood.

Oh my god.

This is your house?

Come on, it's not much.

Are you sure I look okay?

Darling, you look
gorgeous.

Hello.

Wow.

You're not Amanda.

She got sick.

I'm her daughter Lucy.

Our bags are in the back.

I'm sorry, I'll get it for
you.

No, it's only a couple of
bags. I can get it.

Please, I'll get it.

Not quite as prompt as her
mother.

I've gotta go and help her.

It's what she's paid for.

I'll help you.

No, it's fine, Miss.

Thank you.

You know, it's just Anna.

You don't have to call me Miss.

Yes, Miss.

Creepy, isn't it?

Father insists upon keeping it
on display,

don't ask me why.

Local folklore or something.

Been in the family for years.

What is it?

A picture.

Some deity, Wealth or something.

Comes to collect its debt
if a sacrifice isn't made.

It's a bit creepy, isn't it?

Exactly.

Don't take this the wrong way,

but who are you?

I'm Anna.

I'm with Izzy.

Izzy?

Is that what she calls herself
these days?

Oh, there you are.

I see you've met my brother.

Hello, Vincent.

Isobel.

And this is my mother.

Mother, this is Anna.

Elizabeth, please.

Well, this is awkward.

So I'm gonna refill.

Nice to have met you.

Yes.

Unfortunately, I have things
that need attending to.

But I'm sure there'll be plenty
of time

for us to get to know
each other soon, no doubt.

Is everything okay?

Got really nervous, I
didn't know what to say.

Why?

I don't know.

Don't worry about a thing.

Do you wanna see my room?

Come on then.

So, that's Mum and Dad's room
over there

and there's a bathroom there.

Two bathrooms downstairs.

Vincent has the entire
third floor, don't ask.

Dad's staying over there at the
moment.

He likes to keep the door
locked.

He's just bloody secretive
and superstitious.

It's bizarre, I know.

Anyway, this is my room.

Oh my god, this is your room?

Yes.

This is bigger than my flat.

Yeah, your flat is pathetic,

Anna.

God, it's awful.

Izzy, if your dad's home ill,

why have you kept the door
locked?

Oh, God, I don't know Anna.

Mum says he insists on it.

I think he just really likes
his privacy, to be honest.

Plus he's got a bell if he needs
anything.

A bell?

Yup, a bell, Anna.

Have you ever seen them?

Incredible invention, about this
big.

You ring it, it goes
ding-a-ling!

Come on, don't you think the
door

should be easier to get into?

What if something went wrong,
you can't get in there?

They would never accept
that at the hospital.

Jesus, Anna, you're
not at work now, are you?

You're just trying to find
things to worry about.

Do you hate me?

Why would I hate you?

Well, isn't that what you
common folk

are supposed to do?

Despise us wealthy people.

Aren't we all tax-dodging,
Etonion privileged vampires?

Hmm?

Baby, please don't worry about
anything.

It's all fine, okay?

And everyone really likes you.

Are you sure?

Yes I'm sure.

Anyway they wanted
me to come in on Monday

which I was going to do until
I heard the news about Father.

Turns out all they wanted
was investment.

That's all these people
want these days is money.

And what they don't realize is
I've got it

'cause I don't just give it
to every Tom, Dick and Harry.

Be careful with that knife,
Vincent.

You'll have someone's eye out!

Anyway you want to be careful

to who you hand your
money over to these days.

Not that you'd know anything
about that.

What's that supposed to mean?

Oh, nothing.

Remind me, how well did
the fashion line go?

Well, at least
anything

with my name on it actually
comes from me.

Oh, what a seal of approval.

Tell us all, Vincent.

How much money did you
make last year exactly?

How much money did you spend
last year?

That's enough, we have
company.

Don't be rude.

Don't mind me.

No, dear.

We don't argue at the dinner
table.

You should see my family.

Oh.

They took issue with her
lifestyle.

Let's just say.

I'm sorry to hear that.

Isobel says you're
training to be a nurse.

And why would you want to do
that?

Oh.

She works really hard, actually,
Vincent.

I didn't say she doesn't.

I just don't understand why you
go through

all of that training for
such a small pay packet.

It's not about the money,

I just want to help people.

Helping people is
overrated.

As if you'd
know anything about that.

Well actually, I dated a nurse
once.

Rebecca.

No, Rachel.

You know we all need help
sometimes.

It's important that there
are people out there that...

Ha ha, Vincent!

Hilarious!

Look, people should
work for what they get.

Too many people out there just
want something for nothing.

Call it what you will, the
welfare state, the NHS.

It's all the same.

Just something for nothing.

What people don't realize
is that that money

comes from people like us.

Take Father, for example.

He worked hard to set the
business up.

The Redfernes have worked
hard to keep it going,

and he will continue to
work for the business.

One day Izzy and I will
work hard for it too.

It's not just put in our laps.

And what about circumstance?

Circumstance is
just something people say.

I guess that's one way of
looking at it.

Look, if you want to help
people, that's very admirable.

Honestly, I admire that, but

no one helped anyone
without the power to do so.

And no one had the power to do
so

without stepping on someone
else.

It's the way of the
world, you can't stop it.

Look.

You want to make an omelet,
you gotta break an egg.

You wanna feed that on
to a thousand people,

well you're gonna have a
lot of pissed off chickens.

Oh do, shut up.

Finally you decided to serve,
I see?

I'm sorry, Miss Redferne.

I was trying to be as quick as I
could.

Maybe next time you should
start a little earlier.

What happened to the chef?

We had to let him go, I'm
afraid.

An expense we could no longer
afford.

Oh, god, really?

We do what we can.

What are we having?

'Cause I'm not eating
fish, I don't do fish.

Looks to me like

Mushrooms, really?

Just eat your dinner, Vincent.

It's not poison.

Preferred something with a
lemony tinge.

After dinner, you can suck on
a lemon.

Eat!

It looks lovely, Lucy, thank
you.

Are you going to hover
over me all night?!

I'm sorry, Miss Redferne.

For goodness sake!

You know, you really should
try

being a bit nicer.

Mothers do know best.

I just didn't want mushrooms.

Oh.

Oh try not to worry too much.

You'll be able to go home soon,
won't you?

Anna.

I'm sorry to ask, but,

might I have your assistance?

Yeah, sure.

I think that's all of that.

I need to wash it now, okay?

Are you all right from here?

Yes, thank you.

How's that?

Fine, Miss.

Why do you put up with them?

What, Miss?

Them.

You know you don't have
to put up with that.

It's not what you think, Miss.

I'm family.

Well they don't treat you like
family.

But I am.

Your mother worked
here before, didn't she?

Was she family too?

Sometimes we all have
to make sacrifices.

That Lucy's a bit weird, isn't
she?

It's like she's scared,
that she's got a secret

she can't tell anyone.

Yeah, I know.

Maybe she's planning on killing
one of us.

I didn't mean like that.

Oh, Anna, you are never
gonna get any reception here.

It's like nonexistent.

My Mum actually prefers it that
way.

Hey.

Is this Lucy thing gonna be
another one of those things

you start bloody obsessing over?

No, I just thought it was
weird.

Anna.

I know you, don't I?

I know exactly what you're
thinking.

The thing is with Lucy,

she gets paid really well

and she gets treated fine.

It's not like anyone's abusing
her

or anything like that.

You know what your problem is?

You've got such a preconception
from your own family,

you don't actually know how to
react

when someone's nice to you.

No, I don't.

Yes you do.

What's wrong?

It's my earring.

I must have lost it.

It was my nan's, basically
the only thing I have of hers.

All right, well don't worry
about it.

It's in the house, isn't it?

We'll easily be able to find it.

Trying to find an earring in
this house

is like trying to find
a needle in a haystack.

Yeah that is a good point.

But don't worry about it,
darling.

I can always ask Lucy to keep an
eye out.

I'm sure she'll find it.

Unless she's murdered us in our
sleep.

Anna, darling.

Please just relax, okay?

Everything's fine.

Good night.

Good night.

Morning.

Good morning, Miss.

How's your hand?

Fine, thank you, Miss.

Can I fetch you some breakfast?

No, thank you, I'm not very
hungry.

Where's everyone gone?

They went for a walk on the
grounds.

They should be back soon, Miss.

Was everything okay last
night?

I don't suppose you've seen an
earring

lying around at all?

It's small, looks like a pearl.

And it's not, it's fake, but

I think I lost mine last night
at dinner.

Everything okay?

You need to be careful, Miss.

It's only the first part.

There are three...

Well, it's officially winter.

I knew I should have worn my
coat.

I'll take a runny egg, the
paper, and black coffee.

Finally decided to join us
then?

Sorry, I didn't sleep
very well.

Oh, don't worry about it.

You didn't really miss much.

To be honest, I think
you had the right idea.

It's bloody freezing outside.

Well, she missed the
pleasure of my company.

That in itself is worth the
biting cold.

Only if you get to wear
earmuffs.

Oh, very quick, well done.

Is everything all right?

Yeah.

Your dad's door was open last
night.

Really?

Mother didn't say.

Anna, what's the matter?

I'm gonna be sick.

Oh, god.

In the bin, in the bin!

Cancel the egg.

Hey, here you go.

Thank you.

Wash it down.

Maybe you're
pregnant.

I don't think so.

And how can you be so sure?

Oh, of course.

Her lifestyle.

Leave her alone, Vincent.

I didn't say a thing.

Maybe it's a bug or something.

We're gonna go for another
walk later if you fancy it.

I mean it might help.

I actually think I'm
just gonna go lie down.

Okay, of course.

Just try and get yourself
better, yeah?

You know Vincent, she's
just trying to fit in!

You'll make this a whole lot
easier

if you would just go along with
it.

Look if that's
what you want then fine.

I just don't see the point.

Well the point is
it makes things nicer for her.

We'll all get to go home soon
anyway.

Fine.

I suppose it's the least I could
do.

Well thank you.

Everything all right?

Yes, thank you.

Yeah?

Oh, you're awake.

How are you feeling?

We're about to go for that walk.

I don't think I'm up to it.

Oh right, yeah.

It's probably for the best.

Don't want you feeling any
worse.

Lucy will be somewhere in the
house

if you need anything, okay?

Thank you.

All right.

Mr. Redferne?

Mr. Redferne?

Clear the leaves from the
drive, Lucy,

they're making the place look
untidy.

I'll take a drink.

Hello.

Hi.

I hear you've been unwell.

Nothing too unpleasant I hope.

No, I'm fine now, thank you.

I was just feeling a bit
squiffy.

Squiffy?

Well I hope you'll be well
enough

to join us for dinner this
evening.

Yeah I think so.

Oh, wonderful.

Oh, Isobel, don't forget
what we discussed.

Of course, Mother.

She wants me to check on
Father.

Oh.

Apparently he's been asking
for me.

Is everything all right?

Can we talk alone in private
please?

Of course, yeah.

Sorry, Anna.

What am I supposed to be looking
at?

It's my earring.

Yes, I can see that.

It's just normally people are
happy

when they find something they've
lost.

Don't get annoyed.

I found it in your Mum's room.

And what were you doing
in my mother's room?

I heard the bell go
off in your dad's room

and when I knocked on the door
there wasn't an answer.

I was worried.

You were snooping.

It wasn't like that.

And what was it like?

Let me tell you what it
sounds like to me, Anna.

You snuck into my mother's room,

rifled through her private
belongings

and now you're accusing her
of having stolen your earring?

I wasn't rifling.

Then what were you
doing?

I was just worried.

Worried about what?

I don't know if he
could have fallen,

how am I supposed to know?

Did you hear a fall?

No.

I didn't, but that's not even
the point.

Can you stop doing that?

That, you know full
well what you're doing.

You always change the subject.

What was your Mum doing with my
earring?

I don't know, Anna.

Maybe she was trying
to put a curse on you.

Izzy!

No, I'm not doing this again
with you!

You need to stop profiling us,
Anna

because that's exactly what this
is.

Just because we're wealthy

doesn't mean we're any
different.

This isn't fair!

What the hell is wrong with you?

You're supposed to be
here for support for me!

Sorry.

Don't be sorry, just stop!

I mean what were you thinking
anyway?

She doesn't know you lost an
earring.

Probably just found it.

Anyway, I have to check on Dad,
so,

I mean I'd love it if
you came and met him.

Hello, Daddy.

You're looking really well.

Thank you very much,
princess.

How are you feeling?

Not good.

Looking forward to getting
out of this bed again.

Well, there's someone I'd
really like you to meet.

Anna?

Come here.

Anna, Father.

Father, Anna.

Hello, Anna, pleasure to meet
you.

Hi, sir.

I'm sorry we couldn't have met

under better circumstances.

How are you finding your stay so
far?

It's good.

She has not been feeling
too well herself, actually.

And she's been really concerned.

The lock on your door really
worried her.

Oh, sorry to hear that.

No need for concern.

The lock is just my own little
quirk.

I like the security of privacy.

Anyway, shan't be long
before I'm up and about.

Not now you're here.

I hope you're comfortable.

Glad to have met you, Anna.

You too, sir.

They'd make us do
all kinds

of strange things at school.

It's almost ritualistic.

It's just the way these places
are.

I'm sure father could tell you.

Don't state schools have the
same thing?

Their loss.

Lucy, the glasses are
empty.

Sorry, Miss.

And I'll have
another one of these.

Yes, sir.

Is something
bothering you?

Are you still unwell?

She met Father today.

Oh, don't let him
worry you.

He has that effect on people.

I used to dread
bringing friends back here.

Father would always have a way

of making them feel
uncomfortable.

You should eat
though.

Keep your strength up.

I always say, when one is
unwell,

one should carry on as normal.

Otherwise, you just end up
feeling worse.

I'm fine.

You should try it.

It's nice, much better than
yesterday's.

Oh, no, I preferred
yesterdays.

No?

You can't go wrong with beef.

It's a good meat, meaty.

Well, I don't really do meaty,
do I?

No.

I'd gathered that.

No gutter talk, please!

He's just showing off now, as
usual.

You both should act your age

and you're both showing off.

I'm very disappointed in both of
you.

I thought you'd been
taught better than this!

Do I have to arrange for you
both

to have etiquette lessons?

Sorry,
Mother.

Thank you.

What's actually wrong with Mr.
Redferne?

Well.

I'm not entirely sure.

The doctor gave it a name.

Ooh, nothing too severe.

Muscle pain, mild headaches.

Legionnaires.

I believe.

Yes.

That's right.

Legionnaires?

Possibly, I could be wrong.

Shall I bring in dessert?

We haven't finished the mains!

So, tell us more about your
work.

Medicine is such a fascinating
topic.

Actually, if you don't mind,

I think I'm going to lie down.

I'm still not feeling a hundred
percent.

Yes, yes, of course.

Anna, is everything all right?

Yeah, of course.

You know, it might not be
Legionnaires.

I may have got that wrong.

Hey.

Looks like we're in for rain
tomorrow.

Did you bring a coat, yeah?

Has your dad been abroad
recently?

Somewhere hot?

Pff, possibly, yeah.

I mean he does like to travel.

Don't really know, why?

Do you know anything about
Legionella?

No.

It's what causes Legionnaires'
disease.

It's unusual.

Well, lucky him then, I guess.

Lucky isn't the word I'd use.

Look, what's your point, Anna?

They're lying to you?

Is this some kind of conspiracy
against you or something?

If this was Legionnaires'
disease,

there'd be an investigation.

They'd want to inspect your
plumbing.

This would be on the news.

Would it?

We'd all be drinking bottled
water,

it's a big deal.

Well, they said they might
have got it wrong, didn't they?

I can find out the name of
it if you like, that's fine,

I'm happy to find out...

This is my job, Izzy, I know
this stuff.

Do you, Anna, do you?

Or are you just looking for
another reason

to hate us because we're all
wealthy?

- That is not what I meant!
- Do you know what?

I knew you and me was not going
to work.

I knew the second we
started talking politics.

That's when it hit me.

I've been so stupid about us.

Why is there a lock on your
dad's door?

I told you, the man is
superstitious!

Something isn't right here.

You are so fucking paranoid.

They're lying,

- Izzy!
- Shut up!

I think you should be on your
own tonight.

Izzy?

Good night, Anna.

Lucy?

What's the matter?

Lucy.

Don't blame me!

I'm not the one who didn't
answer!

You're the one that
blurted it out without thinking!

What did you want me
to say, huh?

She was asking questions,
she wanted to know.

There should have been an answer
in place!

Yes, but
Legionnaires'?

Where did that even come from?

I don't know, I just thought
it was obscure enough.

How would she know?

She's a nurse!
She knows!

Well, what would you have
done?

Nothing!

Oh and that would have just
raised her suspicions further!

At least I'm trying to
cover it up.

Who doesn't know what's
wrong with their own father?

Oh, what did you want me to
say, huh?

I think telling her the truth

would end a lot worse, don't
you?

He'll already spend the rest
of his life in a wheelchair!

At least I'm the one trying
to actually do something!

Shut up, she'll hear you!

Next time, just think before
you start yapping, okay?

She knew straight away that was
bullshit.

Language.

We must stay composed
and carry on as planned.

We need to focus on the task in
hand.

We haven't got time to squabble.

We need to focus on our paths.

What's done is done.

Soon this will all be over.

What if she tries to
leave?

Well that will be my
business.

We'll get
Lucy to keep an eye on her.

Can we trust her?

I believe so.

Well at least that's
something.

We need to stay calm
and carry on as planned.

Anna?

Going somewhere?

I was just looking
for signal for my phone.

I told you, you won't get
signal here.

You okay?

You look like you should have a
lie down.

Yeah, I'm fine.

Are you sure?

I think you should.

I'm not tired.

You look tired.

Yeah okay, I probably
should go and lie down.

I love you, Anna.

I love you too.

Are you okay, Miss?

Lucy.

Would you like something to
eat, Miss?

Stop calling me Miss.

I'll leave it with you.

Lucy?

You said something before.

You said that there were three?

There are three what?

I'm sorry Miss, I can't.

You've got to know something.

Just tell me?

First they offer something
personal to the chosen.

Offer to who?

This is mad.

Then they anoint.

Anoint?

In a ritual.

And the third?

Please?

God sick!

Oh god, sick.

Oh, bloody!

Mother?

Mother!

Vincent, don't
shout.

If you want something, come
here!

Do I have to do the whole
room?

Isn't this a Lucy job?

Well you
should have thought of that

before you started blurting out
idiotic,

Anna?

Mother, Vincent!

What?

She's gone.

Anna's not in my room, she's
gone.

You had one job!

For God's sake.

You check the back rooms,
I'll check the front.

You check upstairs properly this
time!

Find her!

She can't get out of the house,

she's got to be here somewhere!

Shit, shit!

Found her.

Stay away from me!

We were worried.

I said stay the fuck away from
me!

All right.
You got me.

You're not gonna get
away with this you know,

people are gonna come looking
for me.

Like who?

You don't speak with your
family,

you haven't got any friends.

Why did you think Izzy chose
you?

We couldn't believe
our ears

when she told us about you.

Common girl, no one will miss
her.

Virgin.

Oh, you're not going anywhere,

you're too far in.

Agh!

This isn't fucking real!

This isn't happening!

No!

Fuck no!

No, please.

No, please, don't.

No!

Izzy!

No!

Please, don't do this to me.

No, no!

No!

Please!

Izzy!

No!

What happens now, then?

Not entirely sure if I'm
honest.

I assume your father's health
will improve

and the business will
start doing well, but,

guess we'll just have to wait
and see.

And how long will that be?

I need to get back to London.

I shouldn't think it would be
long.

I was thinking of
going back tomorrow afternoon.

So soon?

Mhmm.

I got business that needs
attending to.

What, you mean you're
not even gonna stick around

to see father?

Well, obviously.

Nothing more we can do here, is
there?

Sticking around here
seems counterproductive.

You just can't wait
to get away from here,

can you, Vincent?

For goodness sake, Izzy.

Look, I think I've done
my fair share, don't you?

I nearly lost my thumb.

Please, you are fine.

It's not like I did nothing now,
is it?

I didn't say that.

But you implied it.

Oh, now you're psychic?

Enough, you two.

We all had our parts to play

and we all did them well.

You both did very well.

It's been a very stressful few
days.

Let's not ruin it with
squabbling, please.

I'm sorry.

Vincent?

Sorry.

There now.

I suggest we all finish our
drinks

and then turn in for the night.

I know I for one could do
with a well deserved rest.

Agreed.

I think a toast is in order.

To us.

- To us.
- To us.

Lucy?

Yes, Miss?

We're turning in for the
night.

Can you set a place please

for Mr. Redferne in the morning?

Yes, Miss.

Good night, Lucy.

Good night, Miss Redferne.

You know, I slept
like a baby last night.

First good night's sleep
I've had in a while.

Really?

I didn't.

Couldn't stop wondering about
father.

My room was bloody freezing.

I think perhaps you're
just a cold person.

Oh, how witty.

Any news on our father, Lucy?

Yeah, did Mother say anything?

Only that she ask that I
set a place for him, Miss.

Well there you have it.
See I told you it'll be fine.

You worry too much,
that's your chief fault.

No I don't.

You do.

Always have.

Well, do you know what,
Vincent?

I can't quite believe
you're in such a mad rush

to leave your family behind.

I have things that need
attending to.

Oh really, things?

- Yeah.
- What sort of things is that?

Important things.

Yeah I'm sure

- they're very important.
- You wouldn't understand,

bloody fashion one.

Very important man, are you
Vincent?

Orange juice please, Lucy.

Orange juice?

I'm sorry, sir.

Orange juice will be nice.

Yes, sir.

I'm sorry, Miss.

There they are.

Father, it's so
good to see you up and about.

I don't want to see another
bed

for so long as I live.

And how are you, princess?

Oh, I'm fine, how are you?

Never better.

Father.

What's this I hear
about you leaving today?

Oh I can't stay here.

I have things that need
attending to.

Always ready to get back to
work, eh?

You are my son.

So tell me what type of work

are you doing at the moment?

Well as it happens,
I'm working on a new app.

Actually I want to
speak to you about that.

Lucy, Mr. Redferne will
take a glass of ice water

with a thin slice of lemon

and I'll take fresh coffee.

Yes, Miss Redferne.

You know, you shouldn't
be such a stranger, boy.

You should come home and visit
more often.

Well, you're always
welcome in London, I suppose.

Oh please, there was
a reason I left London.

Look, we're not so far away.

Just come home and see us, hmm?

Yes, Father.

We're very
proud of you, Vincent.

You're such a hard worker.

Your father's right, we miss
you.

I won't be
a stranger, don't worry.

Just see that
you're not.

It's been lovely having
you both here this week.

Thank you so much for your help.

Thank you, mother.

Do call.

Oh I shall.

Izzy.

Vince.

Very good,
only took you four days.

Oh, don't be a cunt.

Come here.

I'm glad you're feeling better,
father.

You and me both.

And thank you, Vincent.

I know how difficult it was for
you

to arrange the time to come down
here.

Don't worry.

I'll send you an invoice.

Hah, very good, very good.

Let's have a look at
that book, shall we?

Hmm.

Once you finish preparing
lunch

you can take the rest
of the afternoon off.

We shan't need you for dinner.

I believe the plan is to eat
out.

Yes, Ma'am.

Hey.

Hey, sweetheart.

Haven't heard from you in a
little while.

Hey Mum.

How are you,
sweetheart?

I'm fine, how are
you doin'?

Yes, I'm fine,
darling.

Your sister's been taking
good care of me, don't worry.

Good.

How are you finding
things?

I'm really sorry I couldn't be
there.

How did it go?

I can't do this, Mum, I can't.

You can, you can.

You're strong, remember that.

You're so, so strong.

You're such a good girl.

I'm not, Mum, I'm not.

Yes you are, yes you
are.

Remember why you're doing this.

You're there for us, for the
family.

Remember that, Lucy.

What you're doing is incredible.

You're providing for us.

You're making sure we're okay.

But I feel terrible.

Why?

You didn't do anything.

You're just getting on with your
job.

You're not involved.

Just keep your head down,
sweetheart.

It's not long until you come
home again.

Don't get involved in their
stuff.

You just do your job
and keep your head down.

You're a good girl

and I love you.

I love you too, Mum.

You just worry about
you.

Yeah.

Are you sure
you're gonna be okay?

Yes of course, don't fret over
it.

I just don't feel right
leaving you so soon.

Don't be silly, princess.

Your mother is more than
capable.

And we have Lucy.

You have done more than enough.

Your tea?

Oh, just pop it there.

Oh, and there are some
clothes in the hamper

than need washing.

Isobel will be leaving us this
afternoon

so we'll take a light lunch.

Yes, Ma'am.

Daddy, have you heard
anything

from the office yet?

No, not yet, but
then they know how busy we are

at the moment.

We haven't called them to let
them know I'm on the mend.

I thought I'd enjoy the time
off.

When do you think
you'll hear?

It shan't be long.

But please, let's not talk
about business at the table.

Tell us, what are your plans
once you're back in the city?

To be honest, I
hadn't really thought about it.

I mean I'll probably end up
continuing with my studies.

I mean there's no point letting
that go to waste, is there?

Indeed.
